Our society has trained us to think that sex equals orgasm but what if a greater connection is to be found by redefining what sex actually is. The textbook definition of sexual intercourse is "heterosexual intercourse involving penetration of the vagina by the penis" but we all know that sex takes on many forms. If we were to use the textbook definition, oral sex, anal sex, pegging nor any other sex act not defined as heterosexual vaginal penis insertion. I think we can all establish that at least Merriam Webster's definition is stupid. Let's expand our quest for definition to the word intercourse "physical sexual contact between individuals that involves the genitalia of at least one person". That definition gets us a little bit closer to accuracy. Accurate or not, it should be noted that neither of those definitions include anything about ejaculation. Society tells us that a sex act is defined by the male ejaculation. Sex starts when he gets hard and ends when he ejaculates. This of course leaves half of the equation in the lurch since our orgasms simply don't matter but that is a topic for another day, let's not allow Emma to get sidetracked here. I mean, she is already talking about herself in the third person. Sheesh.
So we've established that sex does not equal orgasm by either partner.

Karezza is sex devoid of male ejaculation. Alright, I'll set my dictionary down for now.
Karezza is an approach to sexual satisfaction that fosters a deeply emotional connection without orgasm that is unique to an orgasm-less sexual experience.
Nature wants us to have multiple partners and we are designed to procreate and breed. Pair bonding is inherently unnatural to us but many of us find great pleasure in having a long term partnership with another.
Do you ever find yourself attracted to your partner emotionally but not craving him sexually? Interestingly enough, the female body is designed to desire different men for different purposes at different points in our hormonal cycle. This means that we want some men for sex and other men for emotional support. We may want our emotional support from one source but desire physical needs from another. If this all sounds very complicated, it is. To top things off, hormonal birth control takes female attraction confusion to an entirely new level.
I received a contact form several nights ago from a man that asked why I don't just date an alpha male if I want someone like that. Why "put Kev through" non monogamy when he isn't what I am looking for? To correct him straightaway; Kev IS what I am looking for but I think we should clarify that women approach relationships in two different ways. …
